Food Data/Bastet
Guidelines
This page is for recording precise durations of single pairs of ingredients, mainly so that they can be used to determine coordinates. Less precise information, especially recipes with useful stats, can be listed on the Recipes/Bastet page.
Potency of additive affects duration, and these can change over time. The easiest way to avoid errors from this is to find the location of an ingredient by using it in a batch of tests as an additive and not as a base.
Gastronomy skill 7+ allows evaluating the dish to determine durations to the nearest second. This should be used for all future data.
Method
A minimum of 3 durations are required to determine an ingredient's X, Y, and Potency values. 4 durations are preferred to resolve ambiguity in locations, detect errors in recording results, and cross-check previous results. A sample set of tests for salt:
- 6 coconut + 1 salt = 341 sec
- 5 coconut + 2 salt = 377 sec (13 coconut + 1 salt would be useful if salt were in short supply)
- 6 mutton + 1 salt = 906 sec
- 6 onion + 1 salt = 666 sec
The first two tests tell us that the potency of salt is about 7 * (377 - 341) = 252, and so that 252/7 = 36 seconds of the duration in a 6:1 recipe is due to salt's potency. (I don't see why you need to multiply by 7 when you are going to divide by 7 ~ HiGuys) The rest of the duration comes from 1000 - distance, so the distances are about:
- coconut - salt = 595 distance
- mutton - salt = 130 distance
- onion - salt = 370 distance
Actually determining coordinates from these distances requires either trigonometry (for a rough result) or optimizing systems of nonlinear equations (for a much better result).
Coordinates
These are based on a system where cabbage is at (0,0) by definiton, leeks on the +X-axis, and honey on the +Y side. As many more ingredients become known, it may be useful to change reference points. Potency is a guide only - it changes over time.
